Intro: EmEm
The hills are burning, fields turn to steel
the big house is haunted with what we don't feel
CG
the streets are empty, no one ever comes around
DCEm
so you know they won't make a sound burn down this town
Em
My lungs are blackened with the smoke and sobs
so just be a man and finish the job
CG
and i'll watch you from this distant place i've found
DCEm
oh you know I won't make a sound burn down this town
Chorus:
C-G-DDC-G-D
The clapboard jail and the co-op board
DC-G-D
the garden club and the bedroom door
DC-G-Am
the sprinkled lawn and the mirrored hall
Am
the Christmas tree
CEm
just burn it all
(Em over Instrumental)
The sky is falling with ash and mud
we gotta make the promise, yeah blood to blood
so shut the door then slowly turn around
now you know you can't make a sound burn down this town
The clapboard jail and the co-op board
the garden club and the bedroom door
the sprinkled lawn and the mirrored hall
the Christmas tree
just burn it all
burn down this town
